I've got to tell you, this is very hard. I find myself really judging teams not only on whether the teams win and lose but I they are also being evaluated on how good they look. This doesn't just mean blowing teams out but also how dangerous you look. This will explain Michigan appearing, with a bullet, at #16.

A couple of things stood out to me.First, The Penn State offense could be pretty good this year. However, we need the offensive line to play much better. This, however, is not a small problem. Royster has rushed the ball 16 times for 72 yards in the first two games. This is terrible. Not a terrible average (4.5/carry) but the Lions JBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05969423259638546849noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23610267.post-43668783375261009112010-09-08T07:38:00.000-05:002010-09-08T07:38:00.181-05:00BlogPoll Week 2This is harder than I thought it would be.

The student section is raucous and it is tough for Quarterbacks to be heard on the field. Well, things just got a bit more difficult for teams coming to play at Penn State.

All three have PSU winning by at least eight points and Mike and Kevin have PSU winning by at least 10.

BTL was worried, and rightfully so, because Newsome is the backup QB and he has seen only a handful of snaps in his 3 games at PSU and none of them have been meaningful. Also, now that the Lions have made it to conference play, where will Mr. Newsome get these snaps?

Though it wasn't the blowout many expected the game was never in doubt. The Lions would've shut the orange out but for Newsome's late fumble giving the Orange an opportunity to get on the board against the second string defense.Seriously though, the running game didn't look any better this week than it did against Akron.
